Chapter 152: Boxing Match

"Link, what are you looking at?"

On the highway outside Kennedy International Airport in New York, agent Simon Curtis asked while driving.

Link looked out the window at the drizzling rain, which made the road wet, like a woman in spring.

"Before I came, I checked the weather forecast, and it said New York would be sunny. But as soon as I got off the plane, it started raining. I feel like New York's weather is against me."

"Haha, it's just a passing shower. It'll...

Chapter 151: Drunk

After a day of filming, Link trained for over two hours in the boxing ring rented by the crew and didn't return to the hotel until 7:30 pm.

After showering, Link chatted with Taylor on the phone for a while and then lay on the sofa, reading "Billboard" magazine.

His debut album "The Fighter," after being released for over two months, had all seven charting songs gradually pushed off the charts.

Among these seven songs, there was one championship single, and three song...

Chapter 150: Acting

Amy Adams smiled slightly and poured him a glass of wine. "You're a paver, right?"

"Yes, I'm also a boxer."

Link added, with a bit more confidence on his face.

"Oh, I heard you're a stepping stone?"

Amy Adams laughed.

"I'm not a stepping stone."

Link emphasized.

"They use people like you to help other boxers climb up."

A customer came over, and Amy Adams got busy behind the counter again.

Link's face showed some shame as he clenched...

Chapter 149: Filming

"Link, you did a great job just now. The show will definitely be a hit."

After leaving the ABC Television Building, Ms. Mandy praised him.

"I hope you're right."

Link exhaled and got into the car.

After the ABC interview, there were still CBS's Late Night Show, NBC's Saturday Night Live, TBS's Conan, The Jimmy Kimmel Show, and so on. Dealing with various types of hosts was also a big challenge.

Link suddenly realized that being a celebrity was not easy. Pu...

Chapter 148: Domestic Violence (Fourth Update, Happy Lantern Festival to all)

"So, Link, what Amber said about fainting and measuring in hours, is it all true?"

Elisabeth Hasselbeck asked on the show.

Link smiled, "Maybe we should change the subject, I'm worried Taylor might come after me if she hears this."

Everyone laughed.

"Link, during the Grammy Awards, besides the incident between you, Kanye, and Lil Wayne, there was another big event in the music industry. Rihanna and her boyfriend Chris Brown got into a fight on the street. Did yo...

Chapter 147 Critical Hit

The View, a talk show on ABC, is a daytime interview program.

It has been airing since 2007, with a format similar to The Oprah Winfrey Show, focusing on celebrity interviews and discussing recent hot topics.

The difference is that this show has five female hosts of different skin colors: black, white, red, yellow, and brown, making the issue of race very clear.

The five female hosts are also middle-aged women over 30 years old, often discussing topics related to gend...

Chapter 146 Arrangements

In mid-March, Link arrived at the New Covenant Academy in Los Angeles to take the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT). The SAT is administered by the College Board and is offered in March, May, June, October, November, and December each year.

Link's participation in this exam attracted a lot of media attention, with everyone curious about how the big star would perform.

Initially, Link didn't care, but when he got the test paper and saw a few math questions, he immediately reg...

Chapter 145: The Exam

Upon receiving the invitation to perform with MJ, Link was initially very excited and thrilled.

MJ was the King of Pop, the most accomplished and influential singer in the history of pop music, with over a billion fans worldwide. Even at the peak of their careers, Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, and Jay Chou couldn't compare to him.

Being invited by him to sing at his concert was even more praiseworthy than winning a Grammy Award.

However, after the call, he ...

Chapter 144: MJ

"Link! Link! Where are you?"

Taylor returned to the villa and shouted towards the house.

"Here!"

Link's voice came from the pool.

Taylor strode towards the pool and saw Link swimming. He stretched out his arms, alternately stroking the water, his movements very skilled.

"Didn't you go on a date with a handsome guy? Why are you back so early?"

Link chuckled, holding onto the edge of the pool with both hands.

Taylor saw the smile on his face and ...

Chapter 143: The Video

The video was shot in a dimly lit boxing gym.

In the distance, a thumping sound could be heard, like a beating heart.

The camera slowly zooms in on a slender man with a strong, bare back, continuously punching a sandbag. His strength was immense, his movements agile, one punch after another, with a strong sense of rhythm.

Even those who didn't understand boxing would find it captivating.

"Link, start."

Someone shouted from behind the camera.

The man ...

Chapter 142: New Song

"Hey, Taylor, over here!"

Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, an open-air cafe.

Taylor heard someone calling from the second-floor terrace, picked up her sunglasses, and glanced up. It was her friend Blake Lively waving at her. She handed her shopping bags to her assistant Emily and walked up to the second floor.

Today, the second floor of the Italian cafe was reserved, with only a group of celebrities drinking coffee and chatting on the terrace.

The group included Holl...

Chapter 141: Countermeasures

In the living room, Mrs. Andrea sat on the sofa, staring intently at Link, "Do you know about the situation outside? What are your countermeasures?"

Link thought for a moment, "Adapt to the changing circumstances."

This sentence sounded a bit profound. Mrs. Andrea thought for a while, then suddenly frowned, "You mean to do nothing?"

Link nodded.

Mrs. Andrea was instantly furious, her fists clenching involuntarily. The public opinion outside was about to explode,...

Chapter 140: Mom

Manhattan Center, TP Building, link music office.

Miss Eva crossed her fingers and thought silently for a moment.

Then she pressed the intercom button on her desk phone and, after the call started, told her assistant to contact multiple media outlets discreetly and urge Link to come forward and apologize publicly, making as much noise as possible.

The assistant was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding the meaning behind her boss's words, and asked if she had ...

### Chapter 139: Night Talk

---

“It’s so late. Who called you?”

In the bedroom, the lights were bright. Taylor, wearing a nightgown and with her golden curls draped around her, was leaning against the headboard with a music magazine in her hands. When she heard Link come in, she asked without looking up.

“My boss!”

“Eva Thump?”

Taylor looked up, her blue eyes flashing.

“Yes, she heard about the Grammy incident and called to criticize me.”

Link threw off...

### Chapter 138: Strategy

That night, after the Grammy Awards ceremony was broadcasted on CBS, everyone saw what happened at this year's awards show. CBS, NBC, ABC, and other news channels also reported on the incident during their evening news.

It created a huge stir in America.

Initially, the public didn't understand the conflict between Link and Kanye, nor did they know why Lil Wayne wanted Link to apologize.

Yahoo News was the first to sort out the details of the conflict online.

The...

Chapter 137: Big News

"How does it feel to attend the Grammys for the first time?" Taylor asked, holding his hand.

"A bit nervous," Link replied. "I just messed up a couple of lyrics on stage. Did you notice?"

"No, but there are cameras here. I'll watch the TV broadcast later and should be able to see it." Taylor pointed to the cameras at the edge of the stage.

Link sighed, realizing his mistakes would be broadcast and potentially criticized.

"It's okay. It's your first time singing ...

### Chapter 136: Adele

“Hi, Link, I’m a fan of yours.”

As she returned to the audience, Miss Lady Gaga took the initiative to greet him.

Link smiled and shook her hand. “Joanne, I’m also a fan of yours. I really like your song ‘Poker Face’; the melody is fantastic.”

“Thank you! How about collaborating sometime? I also live in New York,” Miss Lady Gaga said with a smile.

“Of course.”

Link chatted with her for a while.

Lady Gaga’s real name is Joann...

Chapter 135: The Grammys

"How do I look?" In a celebrity image management studio on Hollywood Boulevard, Link spread his arms and asked Taylor.

He was wearing a slim-fit Dior twill suit, a black thin tie, and a white gold watch on his wrist. With his chiseled face and tall, straight figure, he looked fashionable and dignified without losing his noble aura.

"So handsome, honey, you are definitely the most handsome man in the world." Taylor, wearing a chiffon dress, sat in front of the mirror, lettin...

Chapter 134: You're Not Allowed to Look

In the morning, the Los Angeles sunshine was pleasant, with bright sunlight, blue sky and sea, beaches and tall palm trees, almost making Link think he was back on Miami Beach.

However, there were still some obvious differences in the geographical environment and climate between Los Angeles and Miami.

Miami had a tropical rainforest climate with high rainfall and humidity throughout the year.

Los Angeles had a Mediterranean climate with mild and humid winters, dry and...

Chapter 133: A Minor Love Triangle

The party lasted for half a day, and everyone left after having fun.

After settling the drunk guests, Link returned to the living room and saw Taylor sitting on the sofa with her long legs crossed, facing Amber.

Taylor was wearing a white dress, her blonde hair draped over her shoulders, her hands folded in front of her, her lips pursed when angry, looking a bit cold.

Amber was swinging her legs, chewing gum, looking indifferent.

Both were beautiful women, and i...

Chapter 132: The Party

"You're always so busy." In a vacation villa in Santa Monica's Westside, Los Angeles, Link muttered after ending a phone call.

"Hey, Link, it's party time, no phone calls, okay? Put your phone away." Paul Walker called out, holding a glass of wine.

Link shrugged and returned to the party.

After a busy period, Link was back in Los Angeles for a break. Taking advantage of the good weather, he invited Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, Amy Adams, and a few other friends to...

### Chapter 131: The Agreement

Eva Kar silently cursed her luck, turned around with a slight smile, and greeted the two guests.

“Eva, I heard you were in Los Angeles. When did you return to New York?”

Kunas Jr. asked.

“Just got back!”

Eva Kar lifted the corners of her mouth and maintained her smile.

Kunas Jr. looked at her mature, voluptuous figure with a heated gaze and moved closer, saying, “I heard you like opera. ‘Jersey Boys’ is premiering at the Belasco Theatre toni...

Chapter 130: Controversy

After the press conference, Link's responses in the media caused quite a bit of controversy.

First was the topic of him calling Kanye sick.

Kanye's fans were very dissatisfied with his answer, believing that his words were discriminatory towards patients with 'bipolar disorder' and demanding a public apology from Link.

Link's fans and boxing enthusiasts also came out to defend him, saying that Kanye being sick was a fact, and Link was referring to mental illness witho...

Chapter 129: Media Interview

"Link, during the press conference later, if someone asks sharp questions, be cautious with your answers. If you can't answer, just skip it."

On the day the album sales exceeded one million, Link Music held a press conference at its Los Angeles branch. Link would answer questions from reporters at the conference and address public concerns.

Ms. Mandy was worried about mistakes and prepared a stack of interview drafts beforehand, asking him to look them over before going on ...

Chapter 128: Album Sales Soar

Seeing the numbers in his account double every day, Link hesitated whether to give up boxing and become a full-time singer.

At the current rate of making money, earning twenty to thirty million a year was not a problem, and with more effort, he could potentially earn even more.

Boxing might not bring in that much.

After careful consideration, of course, he wouldn't give it up.

Continuous training, constantly improving his physical fitness, and continuously tappi...

Chapter 127: Soulmate

Smack!

In a London Hilton Garden Inn hotel room, Taylor angrily threw her phone to the floor.

Mrs. Andrea's eyes widened as she witnessed this and quickly went to comfort her daughter, putting her arms around Taylor's shoulders.

"Honey, it's okay. Don't be sad. As women, we often encounter a few bad men in our lives. Now that you've met one, it's like overcoming a major hurdle. You'll become more mature in relationships in the future. This is a good thing. You don't n...

### Chapter 126: A Benevolent Breakup

"Link, hurry up! The game is about to start!"

On the beach, a bikini-clad girl waved at him. She was a top-notch beauty with blonde hair, fair skin, a hot figure, and a pretty face.

This was Amber Hilton, Link's new girlfriend, a 22-year-old actress who had appeared in TV shows like "The O.C." and movies like "Northern Wind." In Hollywood, she was considered a third-tier actress.

He met her at one of Paul Walker's parties.

This woman was young and beautiful, wit...

## Chapter 125: The King's New Flame

"Paul! Catch the ball!"

"Ah! Link, can you spike the ball a bit lighter? We're playing volleyball, not a boxing match. You nearly knocked me out."

In Los Angeles, on Santa Monica Beach, a group of scantily clad men and women were playing beach volleyball. Most of the men were shirtless, wearing athletic shorts.

The women were all in bikinis—red, black, pink—jiggling as they ran.

These people were in their twenties and thirties, all with very sexy and hot bod...

Chapter 124: Happy New Year

After leaving the recording studio, Link kept thinking about Graham's suggestion.

Graham said that he was only twenty years old this year, the age to go to college, and he had time to attend classes at nearby schools to enrich his spiritual world.

Hearing Graham's suggestion, Link shook his head repeatedly at first. He was a world boxing champion and a multimillionaire, did he still need to go to school? What a joke.

But on the way, he thought about it carefully and f...

Chapter 123: Digging Holes for Each Other

Christmas was approaching, and Link called Taylor to ask if she was coming to New York.

Taylor was originally from Pennsylvania. When she was twelve years old, her parents moved their family to Nashville, Tennessee, the capital of country music, to support her dream of becoming a singer.

After Taylor became famous, the Swift family moved to Los Angeles and spent most of the year there. They only came to New York to record songs.

After the release of "Fearless," Taylor...
